Imagine that you're playing D&D at the local game shop. Your party just broke into the basement of a local criminal group, got into a fight with an animated armory, and took some wounds.

One of the characters is on low hit points, and wants to take a short rest. The rest of the party points out that they've only had one fight, and anyways the basement of a criminal group is not a safe place to linger uninvited. So we don't rest.

We soon get into a fight with a shambling mound. (I don't know why the local criminals had a shambling mound in the basement.) The low-HP character's player keeps complaining about how we didn't take a short rest earlier—on his turn, on other player's turns, when he gets knocked to 1 HP.

Notably, he hasn't made this kind of complaint when other people have been reduced to low hit points. He wasn't been an advocate of short-resting after every single fight until he specifically wanted a short rest.

...

I hear 4e short rests only took a few minutes, so that it was more reasonable to take one after every fight. Hence the per-short-rest powers being called "encounter powers". That sounds nice.

Introducing: BAD GUYS

"Someone powerful has screwed over someone powerless. Everyday people are hurting, and nobody with the power to stop it cares – except the Crew. Led from behind the scenes by their Mastermind, this team of criminals will grift, steal, and hack their way to justice for those who can’t do it for themselves."

Bad Guys is a game about a team of criminals teaming up to steal from the rich and powerful and give back to the people they hurt. Based on the hit television show Leverage and its now out-of-print official TTRPG adaptation, Bad Guys makes creating your team of bad guys and running your next job slick and exciting.

And to sweeten the deal, Bad Guys is 75% off for the next month! It's been added into my Surgery Fundraiser Sale, meaning it's just $2.50 until July 20th!

There are good reasons even most OSR games don't use old-school "declare actions at start of round, then roll initiative with modifiers per action type" rules, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi that's only achieved when you don't know what order your actions are going to go off in until after the wizard says "I cast fireball".

im evangelizing this on every platform i have access to right now: last night i started (and finished this morning) "type help", a browser based mystery game inspired by obra dinn. you must recover the investigative files regarding 12 dead bodies found in a home.

it is a text parser game styled like you are using an old DOS system of sorts. engaging and very, very clever. if you get an error while loading the page, enable cookies (for saving your game) for itch.io. there are no sounds or jumpscares or any weird shit. just you and the documents. please enjoy

LOVE IT when fix it fics don’t immediately gloss over Anakin and Padme’s flaws and how kinda toxic their relationship is. Like yeah, even if Anakin helped Windu kill Palps he’d still be a dude who’s extremely emotionally troubled and who was completely willing to sacrifice Padme’s ideals/beliefs to keep her alive. AND to use physical violence against her (don’t “it was the dark side’s influence me that shit was bonkers). He and Padme would still have a relationship where they don’t really know each other that well (that might be more controversial to say but like. The dudes at the front lines all the time). This is all to say that if Padme was my bestie I’d be telling her to divorce that man. Immediately

the people who go "we shouldn't be so open about nudity because it could trigger someone's dysphoria" are like two steps max removed from "fat people being fat in public could trigger someone with an ed". like peoples' bodies are not the problem here, trying to restrict someone else's body because of how you personally feel is indistinguishable from conservative praxis. i'm sorry if that sounds harsh but there is basically no interpretation of "we need to control the bodies of [demographic]" that does not fall down the slippery slope of fascism.
